Thanks for the comments. Regarding the helicopter: I meant using the helicopter only as a means of transport to get to remote places, not hunting / shooting from the helicopter or something like that. The scope is a zeiss 3-12 x 56 which is good for night hunting, but weights heavy (total weight of gun + scope 4,5kg (~9 pounds 14oz)).. so probably not the best choice.
Another tip I got was the Nelson Lakes NP, as the weather might not be so severe as in the Fjordland.
